QUALITY SUPPORT

Manufacturer's Description

PES 2012 continues KONAMI's determination to work with fans of both the PES series and football in general, to create a truly realistic, immersive and utterly playable take on the modern game. Attacking play is a cornerstone of PES 2012, and the new game benefi ts from a more open approach that allows users to dictate the pace of movement, with all-new AI elements incorporated so team mates make runs and offer support in one-on-one situations. Zonal marking and positional defending are also massively enhanced; ensuring players are forced to work harder to split the opposition defence. Meanwhile a new cursor switching system has been implemented using the right analogue stick to switch to any player on the field. The result is a game that, more than ever, represents the key attributes of the world's greatest players and truly captures the essence of top-fl ight football.

Features

Active AI - Recreates movement and team ethic of real football. Players will intelligently create space, and make themselves available whilst visibly calling for the ball.

Jostling - Utiliseplayer strength to win the ball in one-on-one situations. More realistic animations show the challenges between two jostling players, with players falling depending on how they are challenged.

Off the ball control - Highlight any player at any time to strategically position your players. Goal kicks, corners, free kicks and throw-ins now let you quickly take control of any player off the ball, enabling clever runs which create space for an attack.

Referee AI - Greatly enhanced to improve decisions made and to ensure fewer interruptions to play. Refs will intervene only when truly necessary, and advantage will be played more frequently in offside and free kick scenarios.

Pass Support - Choose from one of five settings, from full support right up to the full veteran setting which switches off all assistance so that the direction, weight and speed of every pass is at your disposal!
